Youkilis can use a day off. He's been playing with a sore knee. Day game after night.

Yep, doesn't sound like Youk will be 100% the rest of the season...a day off here and there and he should be good to go.

It's the one danger with giving him a multiyear deal. He's brittle now.

Imagine how good he would be if 100%.

We don't have to imagine. Look at all the big numbers he put up with the Red Sox.

If father time and injuries didnt strike him, he probably wouldnt be on the Sox now.

Yeah, and then when he was hauling butt to score later, you could see him grimacing as he's rounding third.

This. Especially with the extra runners on the bench now.

Youk's in the lineup tonight, so I guess he's OK. Or, at least, OK enough.

Also very surprised they didn't pinch run for him after that slide... but he's back at it. Go Youk!
